Well I'm keeping an eye on that. Could be intrigued, if the Kickstarter sounds half decent I'll back it. Love discworld. The idea of a game system built around messing with language and making puns sounds great.

While you're waiting, may I suggest Nethack?

They've spent literal decades building puns into the game, among other silliness.

There are even Discworld inspired elements to the game, including monsters and even an entire character role - the Tourist.

Edit: Sorry, didn't catch what community this was, and commented before reading the article (yes, I should know better). I had assumed it was going to be a computer game, rather than tabletop.
